Nutrition & Menus

The Mequon-Thiensville School District provides a variety of healthy and tasty meal options daily in partnership with its food service provider, Aramark. Our shared goal is to provide students with a well-balanced meal that also appeals to their tastes, while meeting the guidelines of the USDA's National School Lunch Program.

Designed to ensure students receive an appealing, balanced meal consisting of foods from all major food groups, the USDA’s standards focus on obtaining calories and other key nutrients from fruits, vegetables, lean protein foods, grains, and milk with proper serving sizes for a student’s age and activity level.

Some of the highlights of our food service program include:

No more than 30 percent of calories can come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat.

Meals must provide one-third of Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium.School meals are served in age-appropriate portion sizes.

Aramark's chefs and dieticians strive to create appealing dishes that are also within the rigorous guidelines of the National School Lunch Program. If you have questions about what is being served, please feel free to contact Aramark!

Students use an online lunch accounting system to purchase breakfast or lunch. To make deposits to a student account, parents may place a check with the Student ID number on the envelope and send to the school office by 9 am, or pay online to the student's account at myschoolbucks.com.

All expenses and revenues related to the district’s food service program are in a segregated fund from our general operating budget. Any profit generated through the food service program directly benefits the district, and is put back into the program to improve it.

If a graduate has funds remaining in their MySchoolBucks account at the time of graduation, the funds will be automatically shifted to a younger sibling's account. If there are no younger siblings, the school district will mail a check to the family for the amount remaining on the account.
